I invest here in Columbus, Ohio and I can help refer you the CORE 4 that you need: Agent, PM, Contractor, and Attorney.

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

@Terra Padgett most "gurus" are referring to either:1) Class A properties & tenants - which perform very well2) Portfolios of at least 10, if not, 20+ properties.

This LeasingToBuy course, as well as his seminars, are a complete ripoff and waste of time.....Lease options more than 180 days are also illegal in TX (AND OTHER STATES) as are the "sandwich contracts' that he repeatedly refers to.

You can PM me for other references if you want to.

Please learn respect sir for future reference.
